LAKEWOOD - County investigators are seeking the public's help in tracking down the man behind the wheel of an SUV that ran over a 48-year-old woman Sunday night and fled the scene.

The Ocean County Prosecutor's Office released footage of a blue Ford Explorer, which they believe was involved in a hit-and-run on Cedar Bridge and Hurley avenues. Authorities described the driver as an African-American man.

The woman, a Lakewood resident, was walking home before 11 p.m. Sunday night when she was hit by the SUV. Investigators believe the vehicle hopped the curb while turning right and ran over the woman, said Al Della Fave, spokesman for the prosecutor's office.

When police found the victim, she was responsive but motionless. She was taken to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune where she is being treated for a broken pelvis and broken ribs.

Authorities ask anyone with information to contact Mike Proto of the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office at 732-232-7240 or Officer Dave Silberstein of the Lakewood Police Department at 732-363-0200 x5387.
